- 739: $5k in a Weekend Selling Other People’s Stuff
What if you could make money this weekend helping people clear out their homes without buying a single thing yourself?
Estate sales have been around for decades, but a newer, fully online version of this business makes it faster, safer, and more efficient for everyone involved. And it’s wide open for someone willing to learn the ropes.
Sue Antinoro (Bird's Nest Auctions) has spent the last 10-20 years in consignment, eBay, estate sales, and auction sales. Today she runs AuctionMastery.com, where she’s built a flexible side hustle turning other people’s belongings into cash — and helping families get through one of the most overwhelming transitions in life.
Her most recent auction? A two-part sale for a house packed floor to ceiling with items. The total gross: $17,000. Her cut: around $8,000 for a couple weekends’ worth of work.
Tune in to Episode 739 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- how the online estate auction model works and why it beats traditional in-person sales
- step-by-step how to photograph, catalog, and list items to maximize bids
- how to find clients and build referral partnerships in your area

40 min - 738: How to Build and Train Your 24/7 AI COO
What if you could build an always-on AI chief operating officer that handles your SEO, manages your inbox, and runs customer support — all for $200 a month?
That's exactly what Jacques Hopkins has done with his 13-year-old online course business, Piano in 21 Days.
He built an AI operator named Rocky using free, open-source software called OpenClaw — and says it's replaced a $3,500/month SEO agency, cut his customer support time, and made March his highest-profit month since COVID.
Longtime listeners will recognize Jacques from his previous appearances on the show (this is actually his 10th appearance).
He also runs The Online Course Guy, and this episode he’s back to break down how he set up his AI operator, what it’s actually doing for his business, and why he thinks this is the most fun he’s ever had in his work.
Tune in to Episode 738 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- how to build and train a personal AI operator using free open-source software
- the use cases that deliver the most value
- a low-overhead business idea that’s wide open right now

1 hr 4 min - 737: The 6-Figure Slumber Party Business: Don’t Sleep on This!
What if you could set up the same tents and pillows every weekend — and get paid $800 to $1,000 each time you did it?
That's exactly what Anne McGraw has built with Firefly Slumber Parties, a luxury tent slumber party rental business based in Nashville. Anne and her husband run it as a side hustle while both working demanding full-time jobs, and last weekend alone they did five parties at $800 to $1,000 each.
The idea came from Anne's daughter, who spotted the concept on TikTok or Instagram back in 2020. There was nobody doing it in Nashville at the time, so they decided to build it themselves.
They connected with a couple in Chattanooga who was doing something similar and got some early tips on what to buy and how to set up. A few years later, they ended up buying out that Chattanooga business when the owners decided to close.
Listen to Episode 737 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- what a slumber party rental business looks like and how the money works
- how to build a team so the business doesn’t run your weekends
- the real startup costs and how long it takes to break even

45 min - 736: Replaced His Salary in 5 Months and Set Up a $700k Exit
By month five, Jayden Clark's dropshipping side hustle was generating more profit than his corporate salary.
Two years after that, he sold the business for $700,000. The twist: he never bought a single unit of inventory upfront.
Jayden was 27 when a post-vacation reality check made him realize he couldn't spend the next 40 years living for one week off a year.
After exploring Amazon FBA, he landed on high-ticket dropshipping — selling products over $1,000 through domestic UK and US suppliers.
He quit his job at month nine and sold the business two years later. Today he runs the 1% Ecom Club, a Skool community of about 150 high-ticket e-commerce business owners, and actively builds two more stores.
Tune in to Episode 736 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- why high-ticket dropshipping is different from the cheap-overseas-product version
- how to pick a niche, find suppliers, and get your first sales
- what the profit margins look like — and how Jayden eventually sold for $700K

58 min - 735: Meet the Master Reseller Who Gets Literally Tons of Inventory for Free
What if your inventory cost you nothing, and companies actually called you to come take it?
That's the business Angie Nelson has built over the last 18 years. She runs Angie's Green Go Surplus on eBay and eWasteDirect.com, an electronic recycling company in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Her team does five to seven business pickups a day, collecting roughly 50,000 pounds of e-waste every month — for free — and then sorts, tests, and resells it through one of the most active eBay stores around.
Tune in to Episode 735 of the Side Hustle Show to learn:
- how Angie sources truckloads of free electronics from businesses, schools, and government agencies
- how she decides what to resell, what to part out, and what to scrap
- the eBay tools and strategies behind nearly 200,000 items sold

53 min - Rank and Rent: $1000 a Month From Simple Local Websites
What if you could rent out digital real estate just as you would traditional real estate, but without all the headaches that come with maintaining a property?
That’s exactly what Luke Van Der Veer is doing with his digital “Rank and Rent” business.
What Luke does is he builds a local service business website, then “rents” it out to a local, less digital-savvy business that is more than happy for the extra leads.
Luke has been doing this for several years but said it took about 6 months to replace his day job income, and 12 months to hit 6-figures.
Today he runs a portfolio of over 100 different websites using this “rank and rent” model, earning predictable recurring revenue taking up just a few hours pre week.
Tune in to episode 448 of The Side Hustle Show interview to learn:
- how Luke picks a niche and evaluates the competition
- how to price your service
- how to find qualified “tenants” for your digital properties
